Break old habits

Our bodies signal us to eat based on our usual eating habits. You get hungry at 8am because you usually eat at 8am. Same with lunchtime. Same with dinner. If you snack at mid afternoon, you’ll start to get hungry for your snack around the time you usually eat it. If you decide not to snack or have a meal at a given time, your body will still expect the snack, and even if you are not physically hungry, you can get a case of pseudo-hunger where you feel hungry even if you just ate 20 minutes earlier!
